357 [Six Arms]
Chapter 358: Six Arms
Next, on the way to the [Eight Fingers] stronghold, Li Ge and his party were not directly unimpeded, but encountered a lot of trouble.
These troubles are the traps laid along the way.
I don't know if the arrival of the previous kingdom troops caused the [Eight Fingers] to be wary, and they set up many traps near their stronghold, in addition to the previous magic system that could sense life in a wide range, there were also various offensive traps.
Some of these traps are magic that can cause damage to the human body, such as curses, some are mechanisms set with props, such as poisonous fog and strong acids that can corrode the human body, etc., and some are murder traps that will be triggered when stepped on or touched, such as pits with swords, crossbow bolts shot from the woods on both sides, and explosive zones that look like mines, giving people the feeling of entering some dangerous labyrinth rather than the base of a criminal organization.
Li Ge even noticed that there were magic mechanisms in the vicinity of the stronghold that could hinder teleportation, even magic mechanisms that dealt with flying magic, prevented people from approaching the stronghold from a high altitude, and an enchantment that could reflect intelligence magic, the defense mechanism of the [Eight Fingers] stronghold was perfected to an exaggerated level.
This arrangement reminded Rieger of a person.
"This can't be Gu Aotian's handiwork, right?"
The person who would be so cautious to lay down heavy protection, in Rieger's impression, it seems that only Ainz is so neurotic.
Coupled with the staggering number of dependents who had apparently been summoned by unusually powerful vampires, Rig was ninety percent sure that all of this was the work of the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik.
Attacked the human city of the Cult, and secretly infiltrated the royal capital, and controlled the monster of [Eight Fingers], it is really possible that it is Shatiya who was instructed by Ainz to do so.
"That's interesting."
That's all Rieger came up with.
That's when thieves like Tia and Tina come in handy.
"Leave it to us."
"Let's see us get rid of all these traps."
Tia and Tina stepped forward confidently and began to disarm the trap placed near the Eight Fingers stronghold.
Sometimes they trigger some simple traps in advance to make the traps useless, sometimes they use special techniques to disarm some trap magic, and sometimes they will suddenly take out some strange magic props and use these magic props to disarm the traps and remove all kinds of deadly traps along the way.
Lass and Evel also did some work, both of them are powerful magic chanters, the worst of them are the existence of the heroic realm, and they still have a lot of experience in dealing with some magical defense mechanisms, so they either use the corresponding magic, or use the magic props they carry, and remove the magic mechanisms on the road one by one.
Of course, even they have some magical mechanisms that they can't cope with, and they haven't even discovered them.
There is no way, as the natives of this world, no matter how strong they are, they are only strong in this world, and they are incomparable to those monsters in the underground tomb of Nasalik.
Even if it was Yver, it was only around level 50 in "YGGDRASIL", and the highest level of magic she could use was also only up to the fifth level, so how could she have a way to completely deal with the magic mechanisms set up by the aliens who could even use the tenth rank magic at will in the Great Underground Crypt of Nassalik?
BESIDES, THERE ARE MANY PRECIOUS ITEMS BROUGHT FROM "YGGDRASIL" IN THE LARGE UNDERGROUND TOMB OF NASALIK, AND SOME OF THEM ARE PAID ITEMS OBTAINED FROM KRYPTONITE, WHICH HAVE STRANGE EFFECTS AND ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL, AND THE NATIVE BEINGS OF THIS WORLD ARE TOO TENDER TO DEAL WITH THE THREAT BROUGHT BY THESE ITEMS.
Therefore, while using the magic of the world and the intelligence department to observe the surroundings, Rige also easily dismantled these traps that even Lahagi and Evelère did not find.
How to cancel it?
It's as simple as a light touch with Yuri's own dismantling magic.
With the blessing of Lige's overhead attributes, Yuri, a strategic magician, has the power to disintegrate any magic from the disintegration magic taught by her.
Therefore, Rig only needs to use the disintegration magic to touch lightly, no matter how superb and powerful those magic mechanisms are, they will all be disintegrated in an instant and disappear without a trace.
Such a Li Ge doesn't even know that in fact, these magic mechanisms also have relevant countermeasures, and once they are lifted by external forces, they will immediately activate this secretly set up means to cause damage to the person who dissolves them.
Among these methods is even instant death magic that can have a lethal effect on the person who disables it, and if it were someone else, even if it could disarm the magic mechanism near the stronghold, it would be killed by these countermeasures.
Not to mention anything else, as far as the ability of these girls is concerned, if they encounter these means, they will definitely die.
But in the face of Rieger's decomposition magic, these countermeasures were dismantled together, leaving nothing behind, so that Rig did not find out about their existence until the end.
Brian was right, if [Cang Rose] hadn't met Rig this time and invited Rig to come over, then they would definitely have no return this time, no different from sending them to death.
In a way, they should be glad that Rig came with him this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In this way, after breaking through many traps, the group finally came to the gate of the stronghold.
"Bang!"
With a dull bang, the gate was blown to pieces by a massive spike hammer, revealing the sturdy size of Ggran standing outside the doorway.
"It's finally here!"
As if he had been holding back for a long time, Gegran took the lead with a stabbing hammer and shouted as he rushed into the building.
"Lao Tzu is the Gegran of [Cang Rose]! Everyone here is for Lao Tzu to come out! ”
Ggran was too reckless to look like a steel-level adventurer, and it was obvious that she was very unhappy with the useless situation along the way.
Li Ge and the others did not mean to hide their whereabouts, and walked in directly from the door.
It's not that they don't want to act in concealment, it's that the movement caused before is too great, and they have already been discovered by the enemy.
It's a pity......
"There doesn't seem to be anyone here?"
"There is no breath of the living at all......"
Tia and Tina glanced around together, talking in a whisper.
Everyone was watching their surroundings as well.
The interior and exterior of the building look and feel completely different, and the difference is so big that it doesn't seem to be the same place.
From the outside, the building looks like a prison, very closed, although it is not eerie, but there is an indescribable sense of darkness, not like a serious place.
But the interior of the building is different.
At this time, the place where Rieg and the others entered was a courtyard full of peaceful atmosphere.
The courtyard is not well lit, but it is not dark either, the greenery is neatly manicured, and the stone tiles are paved underfoot, which looks quite elegant and quite peaceful.
It's just that in such a quiet and peaceful place, not only is there no one, but there seems to be a strange air flow in the air, and the silence is terrifying.
"There's really no one."
Brian put his hand on the knife at his waist and looked around, his brow furrowed.
"Is it inside?"
Ivelère looked into the depths of the courtyard.
There, there is a mansion sitting, much like where the aristocracy who likes to live in luxury would live.
“…… Wrong. ”
Lahasi's face was solemn and she spoke in a low voice.
"It's so quiet, it's not like a stronghold, it's more like a ......"
More like a slaughterhouse.
As soon as Lahaz wanted to say this, Riege, who was silently opening a pair of eyes with transparent luster, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her.
"Get out of the way!"
Without waiting for Lahis to react, Rige grabbed her and dragged her in his direction.
In that instant, the movement occurred.
"Huh!"
A cold sword light suddenly slashed through where Lahagi had been standing before, slicing through the atmosphere there, and landed in the air.
"Who'......!?"
Brian, Gergran, Tia, and Tina reacted immediately, and without thinking about it, they distanced themselves.
"[Crystal Knight Spear]!"
Evelère immediately cast a spell, causing a riding spear made of crystal to take shape in midair, and with a wave of his small hand, it shot towards the location where the sword light appeared.
"Buzz!"
The atmosphere suddenly shook, and a vague figure appeared from behind where Lahagi had first stood, like a mirage, swaying all over her body while avoiding the incoming crystal spear.
"Bang!"
The crystal spear suddenly pierced the air and landed on the floor, stabbing the floor to pieces, causing a loud cracking sound.
"Don't try to escape!"
Ivelai was about to unleash his magic again, attacking the blurred figure, when suddenly, another sound of breaking through the air struck.
That's six scimitars.
The six scimitars came like arrows, but as if they were being held by an invisible man, circling and slashing in this direction, and still from different directions, surrounded Ewell.
"Floating Sword!"
Lassa, who was dragged away by Rieger, finally reacted, and seeing that Evel was surrounded by sharp blades, she did not hesitate to activate her floating sword group, allowing the flying sword to burst out from behind and meet the scimitar that was also flying in mid-air.
"Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!" ……
Accompanied by the sound of six fierce gold and iron clashes, the flying sword and the flying knife collided with each other in mid-air, bounced off each other while colliding with the sparks, and widened the distance.
At the same time, the rest of the people were also attacked.
"Huh!"
A swift sword light slashed through the space and slashed at Brian, causing Brian to lower his body and put on a stance.
"[Field]!"
Using the martial art of improving perception, Brian turned the three-meter radius centered on him into his own territory, and successfully captured the sword light that slashed quickly.
With the perception of [Domain], Brian also sensed the body of the sword light that was slashing quickly.
It was a long sword that resembled a thin metal whip, one end of the sword was swung by someone, and the blade of the sword turned into a blade whip and slashed at Brian with incredible speed.
"It's a pity that you chose the wrong opponent."
Brian unhurriedly followed the perception of [Domain], calmly dodged the blade whip that slashed, and let the blade blade fall to the ground, cutting through the floor, leaving a deep sword mark on the ground.
"Bang!"
On the other side, a fireball was ushered in from the location of Tia and Tina, and the fireball landed between the two and exploded on the spot, setting off an explosion.
Tia and Tina were keenly aware of the attack, and swept away one from the left to the other, avoiding the incoming fireball and not being affected by the explosion.
"This is a normal [fireball], right?"
"Although the attack power is not bad, after seeing that exaggerated [Fireball], looking at this normal [Fireball] magic, it makes people feel that this level of attack is weak."
Tia and Tina still have the energy to laugh there.
As for Gegran, she was also attacked.
In front of her, a man burst out of the shadows, struck at her with steps like a blast of wind, and launched a stabbing attack on her.
This thrust is sharp and fast, and in terms of speed alone, it may not be inferior to Brian's [Divine Flash] martial art.
"Ding!"
Gergran couldn't respond in time and was hit hard by the lunge.
In the nick of time, Gergran dodged the point, allowing the thrust to land on her armor, only to rub a burst of sparks.
"Get out of here!"
Gegran wielded his stabbing hammer and slashed at the person in front of him, but was easily avoided by the other party.
A series of attacks came so suddenly, like a violent storm, and the attack was deadly.
However, these attacks were successfully defused and did not lead to effective results.
This made the attackers make a noise.
“…… Terrific. ”
"Managed to escape our collective assassination......"
"It seems that this time it is really not an ordinary character."
"That's not bad."
"If we send those desperately weak Kingdom troops again, we will be underestimated."
With this burst of sneering, one by one, the attackers all around.
They have different images, different costumes, and all of them have quite a personality.
Some people were wearing black hooded robes, and the hem of the robe was embroidered with bright red threads like flames, so that the face under the hood could not be seen clearly, but the breath emanating from the robe was lifeless, like a dead corpse.
One person was dressed in a thin silk, looking light, with gold rings on his wrists and ankles, and six scimitars floating around his body, and he looked charming, obviously a woman.
Dressed like a bullfighter, a man dressed in brocade and holding a rose sword in his hand, exuding the fragrance of roses.
Someone protects his body with unadorned full-body armor, and in his hand he holds a sword whip that stores a long sword.
There are also people who have turned from vague to reality, their skin is white and blue, as if they have never been in the sun, their eyes are sharp, their cheeks are thin, and they are dressed in loose black clothes.
These are the five people who just launched the attack, and the five people who just spoke out.
Of course, these five people were not the only ones present.
"I see, it's actually the [Cangqiang Rose] who is here, no wonder I can get here."
The last person to speak out was the person in charge who slowly walked out of the mansion.
It was a hairless man with muscular arms and a boulder-like body, tattooed with images of beasts all over his body.
"Let me express my appreciation and welcome to you."
"Welcome to this land of the dead."
"I'm a kind and generous man, so I'll give you some time to say your last words."
"Come, let me hear your last wail."
The bald man said such words with a sinister smile, which made the air turn vicious.
